Using Visual C++; how to read from an infile?

[advocation]

How do I read from an inFile using Visual C++? I am used to using inFile << intNum;
But this will not work with this compiler...
The only thing I know how to get is a char with inFile.get(char)

Funny -- I do it all the time with that compiler. Post your code and I'll guarentee that YOU made the mistake, not the compiler.

inFile << intNum <<< wrong (this is output stream)
inFile >> intNum <<< right

Yeah, your right, oh well, now I got another error. YEAH!

Now i'm getting:
: error C2475: 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits>::get' : forming a pointer-to-member requires explicit use of the address-of operator ('&') and a qualified name
with
[
_Elem=char,
_Traits=std::char_traits<char>
]
and:
: error C2297: '>>' : illegal, right operand has type 'int [100]'


here is my code:

[red]Binary.h[/red]
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>

using namespace std;

class BinaryFile
{
public:
	void readFromFile(ifstream& inFile, BinaryFile rd);
	void instertBinary(BinaryFile rd);
	void validRead(BinaryFile rd);
	void writeBinary(BinaryFile rd, ofstream& outFile);

	int acctNum[100];
	float acctBalance;
};

[red]binary.cxx[/red]
#include "Binary.h"


void BinaryFile::readFromFile(ifstream& inFile, BinaryFile rd)
{
	int holder;
	holder = inFile.peek();
//	if (holder = -1)
//		continue;
//	else
		inFile.get >> acctNum >> acctBalance;
}

void BinaryFile::writeBinary(BinaryFile rd, ofstream& outFile)
{
	outFile.seekp(rd.acctNum % 97);
	outFile.write((char*)&rd);
}

[red]runBinary.cxx[/red]
#include "Binary.h"


int main()
{
	ifstream inFile;
//	ofstream outFile;
	inFile.open("in.txt");
//	outFile.open("out.txt");

	ofstream outFile("binrecords.bin");
	BinaryFile blankRd;
	for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
	{
		outFile.write((char*)&blankRd, sizeof(blankRd));
	}

	BinaryFile rd;
	rd.readFromFile(inFile,rd);
}

any ideas?
